Why’s it called Lemmy?
- Lead singer from Motörhead.
- The old school video game.
- The Koopa from Super Mario.
- The furry rodents.
Lemmygrad is a pun off of Leningrad because it’s a communist instance

Interesting, I thought Lemmy was started by ML or MLM socialist devs and assumed it was also a play on the abbreviation: ML/MLM -> mel/melem? -> lemmy
